no AVG free isn't ending only the version you got which is 7.1 is being upgraded to 7.5. Here's the upgrade link...

I like AOL Active Virus Shield. Don't let the name AOL fool you. Active Virus Shield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.
In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, Active Virus Shield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.

Active Virus Shield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources. (6mb)
And it updates 12 to 15 times a day with new virus definitions, 7 days a week.
Free to anyone, AOL member or not from:

The old version is ending, not the current one!
Download the new (free version) here:
